Question

Which French sentence is correct
A. Nous n’avons pas de chat
B. Nous n’avons pas un chat
C. Nous n’avons pas des chat
D. Nous n’avons pas une chat

Answer 1

The correct French sentence is:

A. Nous n’avons pas de chat.

In French, when using a negation with "pas," the indefinite articles "un," "une," and "des" change to "de" (or "d'" before a vowel) in the negative form.

Answer 2

Are you sure

Answer 3

Yes, I am sure. In French, when using the negation (ne ... pas), the indefinite articles "un," "une," and "des" become "de" or "d'" before a vowel. Therefore, the correct sentence is:

A. **Nous n’avons pas de chat.**

This means "We do not have a cat." Here’s a brief breakdown of why the others are incorrect:

- **B. Nous n’avons pas un chat.** (incorrect because "un" should change to "de" in negation)
- **C. Nous n’avons pas des chat.** (incorrect because "des" should change to "de" in negation and "chat" should be singular)
- **D. Nous n’avons pas une chat.** (incorrect because "une" should change to "de" in negation and "chat" is masculine, so it should be "un chat")

So, option A is indeed correct.
